IET Lucknow is one of the reputed engineering colleges in the country. The atmosphere at the institute is quite positive and from the reviews, I have heard from friends, ragging is not acceptable at all here. 

The college campus has a strict anti-ragging policy and a student found in contempt of it may face rustication. All the seniors are quite supportive of the fact that hostel life is tough for beginners and will help you get through the initial tough days. You might have a small interview round, which is mostly on the fun side, just to get to know each other and does not involve any ragging activities.

IET Lucknow is not a good option to pursue M.Tech. You will not be offered any good opportunities at this institute. However, if this is your only available choice, then you can go for it. 

IET Lucknow will surely groom your personality as it offers a lot of opportunities for extracurricular activities. You can be a part of various clubs and societies. In terms of academics, there is no exposure and no technical knowledge is given by faculty members.

Although you will get a lot of time to learn new things on your own and gain the technical knowledge required for the industry. Placements are also not good and you have to apply off-campus. 

Do not join IET Lucknow for M.Tech but if even if you do, make sure to prepare well for further competitive exams. You will receive a monthly stipend of 15,000 rupees and other necessary amenities. 

Yes, of course. Placements of both MCA and B.Tech students take place together. However, I'm not quite sure about the package information about MCA students, but you can’t expect more than 5 LPA. Popular companies like TCS recruits MCA students along with B.Tech students with around 3.4 LPA.

Here are some major facts of IET Lucknow :

A lot of reputed companies participate in their placement program. These include Microsoft, KPMG, Capgemini, Accenture, HP, Deloitte, Morgan Stanley, TCS, Cognizant, Tech Mahindra, etc.

IET Lucknow, KNIT Sultanpur, and MMM Gorakhpur are the engineering institutes in Uttar Pradesh. The admission of MMM is on MET/ JEE Mains basis, whereas the other two are on the cut-off of UPSEE. According to some of the reviews online, I would suggest you go for IET Lucknow.

• IET Lucknow is the best choice, followed by MMM Gorakhpur. It provides excellent exposure to the students. 
• There are various activities taking place on campus apart from academics.
• The institute is the top-ranked college of UPTU.
• IET and MMM have a long way to go. Therefore, both the institutes do not have an alumni network.
• The top recruiters of IET Lucknow are TCS, Amazon, Code Nation, HCL, Yamaha, Global Logic, New Gen, and more.
• It provides basic facilities like Wi-Fi, canteen, hostels, library, laboratories, sports and others. IET is well-equipped.

The fee and placement details are below.

Overall, IET and MMM are the best institutes. The choice between the two depends upon your own interest and the return on investment. KNIT Sultanpur is a namesake Government college. It is not good compared to the others.

Both of the institutions are situated at a distance of 80 km from each other. IET Lucknow is situated in the industrial capital of Uttar Pradesh and the HBTI Kanpur is situated in the Political capital. If you live in one of the two cities, you can choose accordingly; otherwise, this factor has no significance.

1. According to AKTU, both the institutes are ranked at number 1 and number 2 in UP, but the situation is completely different analytically. HBTI is a well-known institution and has been the parent institute of IIT Kanpur and Uttar Pradesh Textile Institute. 
2. Both the institutes are government-run with complete control over examinations and the curriculum of courses offered by them.
3. If you enjoy programming, Computer Science would be the appropriate course for you, while Mechanical Engineering is for those who want to acquire a genuine sense of what engineering is all about.
4. The faculty of IET Lucknow is better than that of HBTI. 
5. You will have numerous opportunities outside the campus. The placement statistics for the mechanical department are not very good at both institutes, but placement in the CS department is extremely good.

Make your decision based on the branch and not the institution as it would have a major impact on your career. 

I have friends from both IET Lucknow and KNIT Sultanpur and according to them, you will not get any of IET Lucknow or KNIT Sultanpur with this rank. Your OBC rank will not be of any help as selections in the spot round are done based on the general rank and there is no reservation. Also, at IET/KNIT, seats for core branches like CS/EC/ME, fill up first. 

If you are a fresher then I will suggest you take a year drop and appear for various entrance exams next year and, if you are not a fresher then, you can go to other colleges. You will not get the atmosphere like IET Lucknow anywhere else, and hence, taking a year drop will be the best in any case. The environment is very competitive at IET Lucknow. Even KNIT Sultanpur lags in this case. The location of IET Lucknow is perfect for coaching for exams like CAT, GATE, IES, IAS, etc.

Visit the official websites, to get the detailed information regarding the cutoff required at these institutes. 

I have a few friends from IET, so I think I can give some information about the institute. Here are some points to consider. 

• The infrastructure is slightly decent, yet not the best.
• You will also acquire clean and an immaculate hostel facility, alongside incomparable mess food at a very considerable rate in the first year.
• However, the hostels allotted to students after their first year are not at their best stage. Students generally obtain old hostel rooms, with a certain substandard infrastructure quality. The food quality yet remains the best, irrespective of the year students are in.
• The lab facilities are not at their best. 
• The faculty is usually exceptional during the first year, but the semesters following that are commonly taken by guest faculties. 
• Most core branch students do not prepare for placements. Students commonly prepare for their SSC, GATE, ESE, and other similar exams during their stay in the institute. 
• In Computer Science, students generally get placed in service-based companies, with a decent average package. However, students who are well prepared secure offers in top firms like Adobe, Amazon, and more. According to the recent placement highlights the average CTC offered to the students is 5 LPA. 

Securing admission at IET Lucknow can be a very good choice. It is considered amongst the several top institutes of the country. 

IET Lucknow is a very popular and reputed college of our country and a lot of students across the country apply for admissions in this college. 

• If your OBC rank is 2500 on the UPSEE, then your general rank would be around 10,000 - 12,000. 
• With this rank it would be tough to get admission in IET Lucknow but you can apply through vacant seats. You must be aware of these seats, as they fill quickly. 
• If IET does not happen, you can also apply for MMM Gorakhpur 
• It is also a very reputed state university and it is also under the autonomous council. 
• You can also take admission in JSS, except CSE or IT branch. 
• Getting into any other government colleges can be very difficult with your rank.

If you have one more chance to appear for JEE Main, then go for it. If you are able to score a better rank even by spending one more year then it will be worth it. You will then be able to get into a good college.
